Installing IMovie HD6 onto new macs

Hi im looking for some help with installing iMovie HD6 for new macs with iLife 08.
I installed the application from the apple sire, but when i try to install it once its on my desktop i just get an error message saying "The following disk images failed to mount" and then below it says iMovieHD6.dmg not recognised.
I have literally no idea what to do, im only into about a month of my life with macs so im not that great with them, but i do knoe that the new iMovie is terrible, and the old one is really good!
Please if anyone can help please do im really stuck.
Thanks so much.
Finlay

HI there, Did you have IM 6 before you upgraded to I Life 8? If you did than IM6 will be in your application folder, marked as I MOvie previous version. If not you can download it from their website. It should be version 6.0.4. Make sure you repair permissions before and after installing any software. Of course back up is the Given. Have you tried the new I MOvie? It is really good at doing what it is intended to do. If you have only been using the Mac for a month, how do you know that IM 7 stinks and IM6 is better? Personally I am using them both, and like it a lot. Ileen

I have installed adobe reader onto my Mac but when I open up an adobe pdf it tells me that i need to accept the end user license agreement, quite, and then open up a new browser but i have never seen the end user license agreement. What should I do in order to accept the end user license agreement even though it never pops up when i install adobe reader?

Make sure Readr is closed. Go to the Applications form, look for the Adobe Reader icon, double click on it, and follow the lead. Restart Reader when finished.

Trying to install cs5.5 onto new pc, have old serial number...

trying to install cs5.5 onto new pc, have old serial number... but can not find how I even start process. Yes, it is installed on a MAC, where I still want access.

You cannot install your Mac license on a PC. Serial numbers are platform specific. There's no way around that.

Can't install Muse on a new Mac

I'm a Creative Cloud subscriber. I signed out of creative cloud on an old mac pro, signed in to a new mac pro running yosemite. Started installation of creative cloud apps onto new mac, but the CC desktop app "sees" Muse 2014.2 and Acrobat Pro as already installed and up to date. And this is definitely not true of a mac taken out of the box and registered for the first time. Is anyone else having this kind of problem, with CC installers reporting phantom applications? What can be done to remedy this?

Hi Dave,
After manually copying Muse 2014.2 to the new mac, I can't launch Muse even though the CC app registers the presence of Muse beforehand. The copy of Muse that I manually put there does not properly communicate with CC and so can't operate and I get "error code 1 - contact support." hatever is erroneously triggering the CC app to detect Muse has nothing to do with actually putting Muse into the Applications folder of the new mac. I got the same result when I manually copied Acrobat Pro 11: failed launch. BUT, CC then took Acrobat Pro out of the "up to date" list and made it possible to install Acrobat. I had to first uninstall Acrobat (using its uninstaller), then re-install it from the CC app. Acrobat is now working. I have installed all of the other Adobe apps I use and have tested a bunch of them to make sure they open and function and can sync settings, etc.
Muse won't work and CC won't let me "uninstall" it. The cleaner tool won't uninstall Muse either; doesn't even list it. Creating a new admin account and logging into it to perform these uninstalls/installs did not help in any way. I eventually uninstalled Muse using Clean My Mac application. The CC app still detects Muse as being present. Then I got the idea that perhaps the presence of Muse on my other computers could be a problem (although wouldn't that be true for all of the CC apps?). Shutting down the other computers on my home network did not change anything.
At this point, I have to move on. I can't let this consume all of my time. Very frustrating, especially since none of it makes any sense. I do have Muse working on my macbook pro and that's what I'll have to do for the time being. I just got through using Muse to redesign my website on the old mac pro. So I'm pretty much done with Muse for now. But even for tweaking the new web pages, I can still get Muse running - just not on the new mac pro.
The reason that you see a late September date for installation of Muse in that graphic is because I had to re-install it and my other Adobe apps on the old mac pro because I was not happy with the performance of Premiere Pro on the laptop. I was going to retire the old mac pro then, but had to postpone that. Not this time, though.
If you have any other ideas, let me know. I won't be in the position to spending a lot of time making this work, but I do want to see Muse work on my new mac pro someday. One major turn-off for me is the need to uninstall everything in order to fix one thing. That is not a good model for a product line. Just saying.
Thanks,
Richard

Trying to load my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through?

Loading my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through? I have a CS5.5 disc. Will suffice?

that doesn't make sense. you will only be prompted for earlier adobe versions when installing a latter upgrade version.
double check your versions.
also, you might want to clean your computer before retrying to install, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

I have Logic on my iMac and want to install it on my new mac book but my mac book doesn't have a dvd drive. I tried to download the upgrade but it looks for an older version. How do I get Logic on the Mac book ?

I would like to install logic on my new mac book but there is no dvd drive. I tried to downlaod the upgrade but that didn't work. How do I download it for the first time?
Thanks!

You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
or...
Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

Oliver,
Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

Installing WIndows 7 onto a Mac Mini that does not have an internal optical drive.

Has anyone had any success in installing WIndows 7 onto a Mac Mini via Boot Camp using either a USB stick or an external SuperrDrive?

Option 1: Get a USB "Super Drive" and use it to install windoze.
Option 2: Use Parallels Desktop to run windoze.
Option 3: Wait for someone who knows more than I do to tell you how to do it using magic.

Serial # not accepted when I'm trying to install LR5 on my new Mac

I have LR 5 installed on a a PC. When I try to install LR on my new Mac my "old" serial # isn't accepted.
Will the serial # be accepted if I uninstall LR from my old computer perhaps?
Or will I have to buy a new license?

Did you get this serial number from Adobe or an authorized Adobe reseller or did you get it from Amazon or somewhere else where the origin is not clear? I ask this because sometimes serial numbers can be stolen and Adobe doesn't know for a while, but eventually they black-list them in newer versions of the software.
Is this a situation where you purchased an upgrade and aren't entering the previous version's serial number?
Is the bad serial number indicated immediately upon typing the last digit with a red X instead of a green checkmark next to where the serial number is entered, or is the serial number indicated as bad after you log into Adobe during the install and registration process?
Did this serial number come from a download or from a box? Maybe one of these types of purchases only allows activating on a single platform. Maybe you'll need to chat with Adobe about it, via the Chat links on their support pages.

Installing CS6 on my new Mac

I had CS6 on my windows computer and did not deactivate it before uninstalling. I am now having difficulty installing it on my new Mac. Can you advise me please what I need to do?
Thanks

You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines, but those two machines need to be using the same platform (PC vs Mac) for Creative Suite software. If your software is the PC version then it will not install on a Mac. You will need to cross-grade the platform version - and since you are dealing with CS6, it is possible (not for earlier versions). To do that see the instructions on the following linked page...
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l
You should get the PC installation deactivated. To do that you need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone - they can take care of it.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

Hello, I purchased Adobe as a download a few years ago and installed in on a Mac Pro. I would like to uninstall it on that mac and install it on a new Mac Pro. Any idea how I can do that?

Just download, install, and activate using your serial number. You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines. If you do not wish to retain the original installation as a backup you can deactivate it by opening one of the programs and choosing Help -> Deactivate.
Here is a general link for where you can find download links...
Download and Installation Help -
https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
If you would like a more direct link you will need to name the software and the version.
If you need your serial number you should be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the software when you first installed it.
